from text heard.

WHAT’S NEW

Read the title of the story. What is meant by duped? Who duped the wicked
sons? How were they duped? Listen and find. Note the important
information found in the story.

How the Wicked Sons Were

Duped
by Joseph Jacobs

A very wealthy old man, imagining that he was on the point of death, sent for his sons
and divided his property among them. However, he did not die for several years
afterwards, and miserable years many of them were. Besides the weariness of old age,
the old fellow had to bear with much abuse and cruelty from his sons. Wretch, selfish
ingrates! Previously they vied with one another in trying to please their father, hoping
thus to receive their patrimony, they cared not how soon he left them-nay, the sooner
the better, because he was only a needless trouble and expense. And they let the poor
old man know what they felt.

Why do you think the three sons were described as wicked? How did the
sons treat their father? Who would help the poor old man?

One day he met a friend and related to him all his troubles. The friend sympathized very
much with him, and promised to think over the matter, and call in a little while and tell him
what to do. He did so; in a few days he visited the old man and put down four bags full of
stones and gravel before him.
Who helped the poor old man? What did he bring to the old man? What
would they do with the four bags?
1
“Look here, friend,” said he. “Your sons will get to know of my coming here today, and will
inquire about it. You must pretend that I came to discharge a long-standing debt with you,
and that you are several thousands of rupees richer than you thought you were. Keep these
bags in your own hands, and on no account let your sons get to them as long as you are
alive. You will soon find them change their conduct toward you. Salaam. I will come again
soon to see how you are getting on.”

What excuse did the friend suggest to justify his visit that day? What
instructions did the friend give the old man? Which country has rupees as its
monetary unit? Would the sons change the way they treat their father?
How?

When the young men got to hear of this further increase of wealth, they began to be more
attentive and pleasing to their father than ever before. And thus they continued to the day of
the old man’s demise, when the bags were greedily opened, and found to contain only
stones and gravel!

Did the sons change their conduct toward their father? What did they hope
for? How do you think the sons feel when they opened the bags? What
lessons does the selection teach you?

THE FACE IN THE POOL

Narcissus was out of breath from running when he came to a clear pool. He stopped to drink.
Just as he was about to sip the cool water, he saw a face in the pool. It was handsome and
he was attracted to it.
“Who are you?” he asked.
“Who are you?” echoed someone.
“Why are you mocking me?” asked Narcissus.
“Mocking me,” said the voice.
Narcissus was puzzled. He wanted to talk with the face in the pool but it would not answer.
He tried to catch it but to no avail. At last, he lost hope and plunged into the pool hoping to
see the owner of the face.
